BBC R4 had a piece on them at 1.30 pm today. The use of zeugma in Madeira was particularly commented on, as also the skill greater than that of Coward. I was walking round Waitrose at the time, and as they played the final chorus of Transport of Delight, and the last note died, in a perfect time, a baby who could not have heard it, went "Wah". It made no other sound at any time I was there. I had to explain to the mother why I laughed.
